Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cyclone separating apparatus for a vacuum cleaner.
  • vacuum cleaners generate a suction force to draw-in dust or other contaminants through a suction nozzle.
  • a contaminants collecting apparatus is disposed in a main body of the vacuum cleaner. It separates contaminants from air and collects the contaminants.
  • the term "contaminants” will be used herein to refer collectively to dust, dirt, particulates, debris, and other similar matter than can be entrained with the air drawn in by the vacuum cleaner. The air is then discharged outside the main body of the vacuum cleaner.
  • Conventional contaminant collecting apparatuses use a cyclone separating apparatus to separate contaminants from air by centrifugal force that separates contaminants from air and removes relatively large contaminants from air.
  • Such conventional apparatuses cannot effectively remove fine contaminants from air.
  • a multi-cyclone separating apparatus To remove fine contaminants more effectively, a multi-cyclone separating apparatus has been developed.
  • the contaminants separated from the first cyclone are often collected in a space that is in fluid communication with whirling air. Thus, the collected contaminants impede the whirling of the air and therefore reduce the centrifugal force developed which reduces contaminant separating efficiency.
  • An aspect of the present invention is to provide a cyclone separating apparatus for a vacuum cleaner that has a high contaminant separating efficiency.
  • the cyclone separating apparatus includes a first cyclone with an air entrance disposed on a lower portion of the first cyclone and an air exit disposed at an upper portion of the first cyclone; a first contaminants chamber substantially enclosing the first cyclone to collect contaminants discharged from the first cyclone; a plurality of second cyclones located above the first cyclone, the plurality of second cyclones being substantially perpendicular to a center axis of the first cyclone; and a second contaminants chamber disposed outside the first contaminants chamber to collect contaminants discharged from the plurality of second cyclones.
  • the cyclone separating apparatus includes a first cyclone with an air entrance disposed on a lower portion of the first cyclone and an air exit disposed at an upper portion of the first cyclone; a first contaminants chamber substantially enclosing the first cyclone to collect contaminants discharged from the first cyclone; a plurality of second cyclones disposed to be inclined upwardly with respect to a top plane of the first cyclone; and a second contaminants chamber disposed outside the first contaminants chamber to collect contaminants discharged from the plurality of second cyclones.
  • the cyclone separating apparatus includes a first cyclone unit and a second cyclone unit.
  • the first cyclone unit has a first cyclone with an air entrance disposed on a lower portion of the first cyclone and an air exit disposed at an upper portion of the first cyclone, a first contaminants chamber substantially enclosing the first cyclone to collect contaminants discharged from the first cyclone, and a second contaminants chamber disposed outside the first contaminants chamber.
  • the second cyclone unit has a plurality of second cyclones disposed above the first cyclone unit and substantially perpendicular to a center axis of the first cyclone, a discharging air gathering member in fluid communication with the plurality of second cyclones, and a housing substantially enclosing the plurality of second cyclones.
  • FIG. 1 is a sectional elevational view illustrating a cyclone separating apparatus for a vacuum cleaner according to a first embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a first cyclone unit of the cyclone separating apparatus of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional plan view illustrating the cyclone separating apparatus of FIG. 1 taken along a line II-II in FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 4 is an exploded sectional view of the separated cyclone separating apparatus illustrated in FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view illustrating another embodiment of the first cyclone unit of the cyclone separating apparatus of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 6 is a sectional elevational view illustrating a cyclone separating apparatus for a vacuum cleaner according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 7 is a sectional elevational view illustrating a cyclone separating apparatus for a vacuum cleaner according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

  • the center axis of the body part 51 need not be the same as the center axis 50c of the second cyclone 50.

  • air discharged from the first cyclone 10 may enter the body part 51 through the second air entrance 53. Air entering the body part 51 whirls inside the body part 51 around the center axis of the body part 51. When air is whirling inside the body part 51, fine contaminants are separated from the air. Contaminants separated from air whirling in the body part 51 fall into the second contaminants chamber 30 through the second contaminants outlet 57, as shown by arrow L.
